The Best AUTOMATED CAPTIONS Methods in DaVinci Resolve (Free & Studio)

[@itstheWampus]

This officially wraps up my series on captioning in DR. I hope I was able to help make life a tad easier for you all, and if you do have more questions, be sure to swing by the Discord.

@@entertainmentyoutube3606 not worthless bro.. you just want everything free.

[@TheOrsonLord]

Thanks for the shoutout! There's a fun little trick to automatically separate subtitle tracks for speakers. You can: 1 - Put each speakers audio track on a separate line (Noticed yours is separated in the left and right channels) 2 - Mute 1 audio track, then generate subtitles - Nice you got just 1 speakers subtitles 3 - Lock the subtitle track so you don't overwrite it in the next step 4 - Swap the muting on the audio tracks 5 - regenerate subtitles again 6 - Voila, two separate audio tracks.

I'm a huge fan of your content. I was wondering if you might try something a bit different in your intros. It would be great to see a quick preview of the final effect before you dive into the tutorial. That way, we know what we're working towards and can get even more excited about the video. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@davidwhoever5043]

Audacity now has AI and free caption tool that can be exported as a srt file and then can be imported in Davinci

[@canobenitez]

Can you elaborate a bit more? I couldn't find more info about it

[@mediaflmcreation]

@@canobenitez "Whisper transcription" is what you look for.

[@RIOYt]

@davidwhoever5043 Thanks man, its very simple and works well. Have a nice day!

[@bearaesthetixfitness]

It is only 60 minutes for free, then paid

[@chuloloco_]

I use Tom Maroney‘s method on the free version of da Vinci resolve. The first time I used it a few months ago it was so inaccurate it was unusable. I tried it twice last week and it worked with 97% accuracy as far as capturing my words, even with my accent, and the timing of when I said them. I don’t know what made it work last week, but I have updated da Vinci resolve since that first time I tried it. Maybe that helped something? I don’t know, but it works now and I’m happy 🤙

[@MrSaintJake]

I am finally buying it. I'm now a DaVinci Resolve "Studio" member.

[@itstheWampus]

YESSSIRRRR, bout that time

[@NettBirc]

Would.like to.buy it but.im.so mit habe the money to.do so

[@wasdatheg1885]

Yo, thanks man ❤. That Adobe Express solution really is... just that simple isn't it 😄. You've made my day (or night, Lol. it's 630am and no sleep (life of ours, right)) Edit: I've edited this because I suddenly got curious after thinking about your video. Does Adobe Express leave any kind of watermark or any other indication? (I'll probably use your workflow for my next project after fixing a few audio issues on my mic)

[@acriby]

you would absolutely deserve the blackmagic design sponsorship haha. bro, your insanely deep into their program.

[@itstheWampus]

Haha appreciate it! 🙏

[@phildrummin]

You edit for around the bar?! I wasn’t expecting Hitch to pop up on a da Vinci resolve tutorial lmao

[@ItsBuzzer]

i been using DaVinci Resolve for a hot minute i tried Premiere pro but it was to complicated and to expensive good video!

[@Tyr808]

This was a great tutorial, I’m a former Adobe user looking to swap over. Also an enjoyer of The Yard, did not expect a Slime cameo in a video editing tutorial, haha

[@itstheWampus]

haha thats too funny! Slime arrives precisely when needed 🙏

[@OS_GameBro]

I am 100% with you. I am also using pro Version since a few years, and i live It.great Video. Thx for this 👍

[@wilhelmrichert6101]

thank you man. that was what im looking for, have buy your presets. amazing! :)

[@Fordakultr]

Capcut is worth the money. I did it by mistake and I'm glad i did it.

[@ItsBuzzer]

me and my friend bought your text pack love it and its amazing!

[@itstheWampus]

that makes my heart happy, glad you're getting some good use out of them!

[@DeepVoiic]

I needed this! Thank you! 🙏

[@itstheWampus]

[@Sorcnado]

Capcut is super slimy now... Kinda like Filmora. Ty for the recommendation to Adobe Express! I am generally really disappointed with DR's auto caption feature for the studio version. I feel like BMD is 2 years behind the mark

[@canobenitez]

I'm just happy I don't have to use adobe products. don't care about the shenanigans.

[@Lgtv-p2p]

Thanks, will give it a go

[@TheExuuberant]

Another free option is to: render and upload to KZbin > let it auto generate subtitles and download the .srt file > import into Davinci

[@TheExuuberant]

Still takes less time than to do subtitles yourself

[@Zarquavious]

Thank you so much i love you

[@STOGG]

Love this, Do you think leaving in the punctuations helps?

[@itstheWampus]

mmmm, im not sure it matters too much either way. Most people watching aren't too particular about the caption style, just that there are some on the video

[@danamichellestyer]

Thank you so much for this video. Quick clarification in order to use Orson’s snap captions we need to have the DR Studio version, correct?! I believe that’s what I understood… Thank you!!!

[@itstheWampus]

Hey Dana! The long answer short is yes, you would need the Studio version. The long answer long is technically, no, you don't haaaaaave to have Studio, but the way Snap Captions works is it converts the Subtitle Track to Text+ Titles. Meaning, there is a specific text track in DaVinci Resolve for Subtitles, and you need those to use Snap Captions. You could probably search around and find some ways to do it, but the easiest way to do it is to use DaVinci Resolve Studio.

[@danamichellestyer]

@@itstheWampus Great! Thanks for clarifying! I’ve been using the free version for years now, and I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a the studio version. I had been creating my own captions using whisper and when I updated to DR19 ALL those capabilities went away… 😳😞 Ao I’ve been trying to figure out how to do the captions otherwise and it’s been challenging. I had been using Opus earlier this year, but found that would make quite a lot of mistakes and sometimes just would write them at all 🤦🏼‍♀️. So I figured it might be time to take the plunge!

[@itstheWampus]

@@danamichellestyer Haha you are very welcome! Normally what I say to anybody who's debating on whether or not to upgrade to Studio is: Do you see yourself using DaVinci 6 months from now? If the answer is a definite yes, then I think it's completely worth it.

[@danamichellestyer]

@@itstheWampus LOL 😆 Oh yeah! I run and edit for a few different KZbin channels, so most definitely! 😁🤣👍

[@IvarNesheim]

Question. Can I chose a new place for the subtitle to be for all Text+ subtitles? By default they get placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to choose everyone and pick a new place for them? Or do I have to move everyone individually? And can I change size on more than one at a time?

[@itstheWampus]

Yup yup! You'll want to go the inspector tab for one of the Text+ clips you want to change -> and click on the Settings Tab, not the Title Tab. From there, change the X,Y Position to be where you'd like it to be, and then you can copy and paste the attributes to all of the other text+ titles you'd like to change. If you haven't done it before, pasting attributes is done by pressing Alt + V

[@gabrielboho8733]

Is there a similar plugin for pictures tho (like pop in, slide up…) I haven’t found any

[@itstheWampus]

Check out MagicAnimate by MrAlexTech or EasyFX from SleevelessStudio!

[@canobenitez]

thank god now I don't have to use more programs, just the good stuff (aka da vinci resolve)

[@lichtschmiede.produktion]

Thanks for the video! But you can right click at the subtitle track and click "Add subtitle Region". Now you have multiple layers of subtitles.

[@itstheWampus]

Very true! You are only allowed to have one active subtitle layer at a time though. If you enable a different track, it will disable the others

[@lichtschmiede.produktion]

@@itstheWampus Layers isn't the same as tracks. All your Layers will be active and visible at the same time as long as they are in the same track. But! Snap Captions only uses the bottom one. So that won't change anything as long as Snap Captions doesn't get an update.

[@Sh4rkk_]

Thx!!

[@Lgtv-p2p]

Do you have any suggestions on how to get English subtitles on a Spanish interview? I don't speak Spanish and am stuck on how to do this. Thanks v much

[@itstheWampus]

The long answer short, is that you probably can't do that within davinci resolve, but what you could do is first transcribe your video in davinci resolve and create subtitles. Export those subtitles either as an .srt file, which is a subtitle text file with time stamps. From there, there might be a website that you can use that translate srt files into english? And then you would need to import that file

[@canobenitez]

You can also translate(and transcribe) audio filest into a srt with Audacity (using the plugin called OpenVINO, which uses local AI, so you'll have to download a few models)

[@IvarNesheim]

I am going to buy your Captions Essentials (paid version). But I live in Europe. And we shoot things in 25 fps here. I can see that the POP preset only exits in 24 fps and 60 fps and its not included in the ANY FPS category either. Will POP (24 fps) work just fine on a 25 fps timeline?

[@itstheWampus]

Yup yup! It should work just fine. I developed them on 24fps and 60fps respectively, but if you use the 24fps captions on a 25 fps timeline, it should scale fine. If not, please reach out and I'll refund you in full

[@SleevelessMTG]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NithinTHEHELL]

isnt snap captions for studio versions ?

[@Sitrehp]

Question. How does one get this handsome?? (typing this from my $20,000 pc)

[@itstheWampus]

I think if you were to look at the reflection in your 49" Ultrawide 360Hz Monitor, you'd see you're already the peak of male attractiveness

[@YeetSurfing]

your wearing a cape

[@itstheWampus]

haha yeah the only ac we have is in my office and it gets cold

[@234Lamlek]

Did anyone find a way to install the auto subtitle plug in on macbook, I have tired it but always getting lost

[@ImNotYourDadButIHaveAdvice]

I'm here for the same reason

[@boryag7831]

impossible to install without shamanic dances for Mac users

[@FaDePSYCHO570]

When i try this it tells me to buy the $299 version 😭

[@igodplus9497]

The best method: Export your video without captions, import to Capcut and add auto captions there.

[@foredits911]

I think the video quality will decrease

KZbin automatic sibtitles makes from "Mister Maroni" = "Mister Idiot".

[@NaturebyGus]

Love the content but kind of annoying that transition you do when you are already talking for the next clip but with about 1sec of the previous clip. Other than that, thanks for the content!

[@antoniomartinezsanz2959]

Not in the free davinci.

[@KogleyBroDude]

There is a auto captioning plugin for the free version. Its pretty tight

[@TisCannon]

Wwwww

[@strixxx7452]

If I make 300 dollars from video editing then I will buy studio if not I am a failure.Why put money into something that doesn't produce money or you don't know for sure if it is going to
